I had an idea for a Warhammer RP awhile ago, and had an idea thread about it. While there was some negativity, it got fairly good votes, leastwise enough for my peace of mind. The idea is that you can either control an army, (i.e. a Chapter, Traitor Legion, Craft/Tombworld, ect..) or a single character within aan army. (i.e. a Chaos Lord/Force Commander, or perhaps a lowly soldier climbing his way through the ranks, like a Gaurdsmen advancing to Governer Militant)

The storyline thus far is this:

There is aplanet, named Methual, in a much unexplored part of the galaxy. As far as anyone has been able to tell, it is uninhabited, despite a wide diversity of landscapes, many of which are ideal for living. The first race to start exploring was the Forces of Chaos, the World Eaters specifically. Cultists and heritics on the planet reported that there were strange fluxuations on all their devices meant to detect life, and radiation. Where these fluxuations were most severe, they found a mysterious shrine to an unknown God. Inside this shrine, they found a small statue, shaped like a wolf, and soon discovered that any that held it, became filled with strength, and nearly unmatchable in battle. Soon the rest of the Forces of Chaos flooded to this planet, each fighting for this prize.

Meanwhile, the Imperium of Man notices the increase of heritic activity in this area of the galaxy. The send Space Marines from the Blood Angel chapter to investigate, and they soon discover the center of the heritic activities. The Imperium decides to send several Chapters, along with several armies of Imperial Gaurdsmen. Soon the entire galaxy is aware of this artifact, and is converging on the small planet, either to destroy the unholy relic, such as the Imperium or the Eldar, to use it for themselves, or merely drawn to the increase of life on the world, as is the case of the Necrons.

Yes, I know, it bears strong similarities to the Dark Crusade campaign, and it could use some work, but I am still working on it, and any and all suggestions are welcome.

Race Template: Orks
Race: Uhhh... Orks?
Army: The 'Ead Smashaz Tribe
Commander: Kurkitz Skullcrusha

Character: Nob (equivalent to Colonel)
Name: Grimgull Deffaxe
Age: 40
Looks: Very tall, dark green skin, many scars on face, always wears 'eavy armor. Preferred weapon is a slugga (pistol) and choppa (axe).
Beginning Rank: Nob, then rises to Warboss
Bio: An infamous yet surprisingly low ranking ork. He's been a nob in the Ead Smashaz tribe as long as anyone can remember. Unlike most orks, Grimgull is more methodical and prefers to at least think before charging headlong into the enemy. Grimgull has a searing hatred for boss Kurkitz because he thinks he's "A tiny git."

Accepted, I was hoping we'd get some Orks in here. Well, seeing as how there hasn't exactly been a flood of people signing up, I'll probably start the RP soon.

OOC: Not yet, we must ADVERTISE!!! Sorry about that but I felt a compulsion to write it.

Hehe, advertisement is all well and good, but you're slightly too late. I just posted the thread, link soon. I'll post something for the Blood
Angels soon as well, I just happened to forget the leaders name.

http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=556815 Heres the link.

OOC: I'm sure we can get a few more people to join once the RP is up.

Thats exactly why I included a link to this thread.

Race Template: "The Ecstatic Brotherhood"
Race: Astartes
Army: Chaos Space Marines, Emperor's Children warband.
Commander: Lord Commander Artur

Character: Lord Commander
Name: Artur
Age: Unknown, time in the warp has rendered him unageing for ten millenia
Looks: Artur stands taller than any mortal man, his armor dripping with the annointments of the Warp. Gold and other fineries glitter upon his armor, a cloak of silk and human flesh billowing about his form. Ceramite plate crackles and dances with runic power, the inscribed blessings of the Prince of Excess. Dozens of vials and indulgences hang from his belts, alongside the flesh-trophies of the weak and the damned.

Without his helmet, Artur's flesh is perfect, almost procelain in its blessed glory. His hair is thick, dark and lustrous, almost seductive in its shimmering glory. The mark of Slaanesh is the only blemish, seared into his cheek as though his God had kissed that very spot.

He wields an ancient bolter, defiled and reshaped, altered in every conceivable way to make it a more personal tool of slaughter. A blade is strapped across his back, an elegant powersword, crackling with runes, bound spirit struggling against the corruption forced upon it ten millenia past. The patterns on his armor dance and swirl, mosaics shifting to show the cleansing of Laeran, the battles for Istvaan and the terror he wrought among the Habs of Terra.

His ancient face speaks of unfathomable arrogance and debauchery, an unholy lordship down across ten thousand years of limitless sensation. A necklace of shattered, dulled, Eldar soulstones hangs from his neck, alongside the long lithe and broken fingerbones of those impotent seers.

Beginning Rank: Lord Commander

Short Bio: Artur is blessed of Slaanesh, favored of Fulgrim. For ten thousand years he has fought and bled, bringing the vile creed of Slaanesh to weak Imperial ears. For ten thousand years he was warred against the Imperium and the lesser races of the Galaxy, all for the promise of a place by his Master's side, for the chance to find that lost world of endless pleasure.

He fought in all the greatest battles of the Heresy and beyond, eventually elevated to the rank of Lord Commander. His skill with blade and bolter set him as an exemplary student of the Emperor's Children's creed. Now he leads his own warband forth, to bring suffering to the galaxy, to milk the mortal races that Slaanesh might feed and bless him.

Haha, this'll be interesting.

Anyone want to post IC'ly?

Faction: The Imperium of Man
Race: Space Marines
Army: The 5th Fighting Company, Black Templars
Commander: Castellian Raumer

Character: Neophyte Aquilane
Age: 18
Looks: Blonde hair, brown eyes, dark skin. Very tall, very muscular.
Beginning Rank: Neophyte
Short Bio: Born on the planet Caloris 2, Aquilane showed to his parents great talent as he grew up, displaying a wealth of understanding about such things that even boys twice his age did not comprehend. When he was 12, the induction age for the Black Templar chapter, he performed the pilgramage north from his town of birth along with 5 other hopefuls and friends, to the Templar Keep 180 miles away across the desert. With an average temperature of 50 degrees in the shade even at their high latitude, many of the party perished along the way. Aquilane finally managed to reach the keep, on his stretch of energy, and was promptly brought in front of the Keep Castellan. Asking to be inducted into the chapter to fight for the great cause, he was accepted, not realising the training and genetic enchancements that lay before him.
6 years on, he is near completion of his training, fighitng alongside his master Brother Severus as part of his final training, befor ehe takes the oath to become an Initiate of the chpater.

Alrighty then.

ok great idea :) i would like to play Lord Malagar The Congealing favored of grandfather Nurgle

Race Template: Entropy's Footmen

Race:Astraties/Deamon

Army:chaos space marine/ Death guard chapter

Commander: Lord Malagar The Congealing

Character:chaos lord of nurgle

Name: Fesulus Malagar

Age:the vaugeries of the warp make that a most difficult thing to judge

Looks:Lord Fesulus Malagar is an imposing figure even with the legs and back of his ancient battle scarred terminator armor bent buckled and hunched he still stands twelve feet tall. he cast aside his helmet many years ago so that his own gurgling breath may spread the many wonders of nurgle to the unworthy. his organs hang through the rents and gaps in his armour dripping clear pus to nourish his horde of little nurlings who swarm and caper at his feet for his amusement and edification.in his right hand he wields a power mace caked and crusted with dried blood in his left he wields a combi wepon a melta/bolter which although crusted with filth and rust is held together by nurgles blessing and so counts as master crafted

Beginning Rank: chaos lord

Short Bio:Feselus Malagar was part of the small cult of nurgle that was led by typhus and existed before mortarions fall and who arranged for the terminus est to be stranded in the warp leading to his embracing chaos.

at the time he was a lowly foot soldier but over the next many many milenia of bitter endless killing he earned his way up the ladder of damnation eventually killing his lord and donning his terminator amour .....amour possesed by a daemon

however with the daemons power came a terrible price if he could not provide a million champions souls for nurgle within a century his body and soul would be consumed by the demon however if he succeeded his body would be reshaped by the warp and he would be reborn as a daemon lord.

with only six months to go and the souls of a hundred champions still to go he needs to find a place where many forces come to do battle so he can claim life eternal

Name:Davion Nortrom
Age: 587
Looks: Of Caucasian origins, has one blue eye and one yellow eye. Very muscular and large, weighing in at 280 lbs and 6'3"
Beginning Rank: Brother Captain
Short Bio: Davion was born of a long family line of psykers, his whole family had been sacrificed to the Golden Throne when Davion was just 10. Davion was only spared because he was a Space Marine recruit age, and was therefore adopted by the Grey Knights. During his training, he proved to be an exceptional warrior and tactician, breaking through any barriers being thrown at him and when given command of a squad, led them to several victories in mock battles. By the time he graduated, he was one of the most respected Brother of the Grey Knight graduates of the time. Carrying all these into battle, Davion fought in the 13th Black Crusade, where he and his squadron of 5 slew 20+ Bloodletters, with Davion slaying 10 of them single handedly. From this engagement, he was promoted to a Justicar and was given an option to become a Terminator. He accepted. In a later battle, 5 squadron of Grey Knights were defending a key hill from the Chaos horde. It was vital that this hill remain in Imperium control because it over looked all of the battlefield.When the defenders of hte hill were being overrun, Davion led his terminators to free the defenders of the endless waves by killing a sorcerer and his company of traitor marines. In the same battle, Davion and his terminators led three squadron of GKs to flank the Chaos forces and kill their lord. They succeeded in going around the main Chaos force unnoticed, but the lord had sensed their coming and placed a trap. When the GKs got to the lord, they found themselves surrounded by Khornate warriors, thirsty for blood. With the battle cry from the lord came the Khorne Berserkers, who slew down all but Davion. The lord taunted Davion and challenged him to a duel. Despite being lesser than the lord in skills, Davion accepted and in what some would call a miracle, slew the lord down. This made some traitor marines to flee, and allowed the Imperium to gain a slight upper hand in terms of morale and strength. Eventaully, the battle was lost and Chaos prevailed, but Davion's service did not gounnoticed. He was graced by the Imperium for his service and dedication and promoted to Brother Captain

Also, i would like to suggest that we make a seperate invision free forum for it. All the interaction going on in one thread will be too much to handle IMO

Race Template: Tau Empire
Race: Tau; Shas ( Fire ) Caste; Kor'vattra ( Tau Navy ) Elements on stand-by.
Army: Mont'Mesme; Tau Combat Patrol Force with some Naval Support
Commander: Shas'Vre XV8 'Crisis' Battlesuit ( 'Vre would be, in this case, equivalent to a Captain or Lieutenant )

Character: Fire Squad 'Ui, equivalent to a Sergeant
Name: Shas'Ui Anuk
Age: Unknown
Looks: Image (http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/2977/taubattlegg0.jpg); otherwise just your run of the mill Tau.
Beginning Rank: 'Ui, equivalent to a Sergeant
Short Bio: Only thing special to note is that he happens to be a Shas'Ui, leading one of the two Fire Squads sent to the planet surface to observe, and scout.

Being, I guess?, that the Tau would have no real interest in this planet as of now, I thought it'd be reasonable to say they were intrigued enough to have sent a small party to the vicinity. Honestly, the actual 'Mission' isn't very 'Orthodox' of the Tau Empire.. so, for the hell of it, let's say it's an unauthorized visit. ( The small fleet was sent to gather information from Space, rather than send an actual force to the surface. )

Otherwise, I honestly don't have a lot of experience with 40k.. just that the Tau have always deeply interested me. Hope this works out :). Oh, and yes.. no Kroot, which means I am leaving my Melee-side of things somewhat screwed.. though, honestly, I don't believe that any Tau would honestly be flacid when being forced to bash some Human, or Necron, upside their head with a rifle, fist, and so on.

No Kroot eh? Have fun with that. I never could do anything with the Tau without Kroot. But, I'm not very good witht the Tau overall...

No Kroot eh? Have fun with that. I never could do anything with the Tau without Kroot. But, I'm not very good witht the Tau overall...

If I've got it down right, I'll be doing a lot of "OMG OMG OMG RUN" maneuvers.

That, and since this is an RP, I'm sincerely hoping there won't be any anal retentive fan boys out there who are going to lecture me on how my main character can't bitch slap somebody the butt of his rifle as some ugly human jumps in for the kill, or toss numbers for my weapon damage stats. :)

Though, I'm considering to just alter it slightly.. but then it'd lose it's unique awesomeness. :3

Mass Edit: Wow, I didn't know I was tired enough to make so many spelling/wording errors.. bed for me!

Don't worry, I personally don't care if you're Tau goes around beating people with his rifle. Though it does seem slightly off script...

Age:23 terran years (tau have the shortest lifespan in the game, well, except for the Necrontyr)
Looks: rich blue skin, unusually tall, almost tall enough for the Air Caste, muscular
Beginning Rank: Commander
Short Bio: Seeing the potential for misuse of the object among the other races, the Etherials decided that the psionically null Tau would be the only good caretakers of the charm, and sent a task force to not only take the item, but the rest of the planet for the Empire.

More Tau eh? How fun. And Necrons are certainly not short lived.

i SERIOUSLY fucking hope that this works cause i have been looking my whole life for a warhammer rp online to no avail.

Hmm.. Maybe.

Race Template: Necrons (Unknown Tombworld)
Race: Necrons
Army: haha, um maybe the Necrons?
Commander: Necron Lord

This should be fun, I play as necrons in the actual game so I hope I do them justice. However I think you should allow this planet to be a tomb world, simply based on the fact that you never really hear about too many necron forces being space bound and invading a planet from the sky. Plus I want to use a monolith.

But a little info on my force...

The basic color scheme is a dark crimson for the shoulders and face plate, a blue (ultramarines blue to be exact) sigil thingy in the middle of their chest and gold trim on the tops of their shoulders, while everything else but the gauss flayers are a beaten metallic silverish color. The weapons are mostly the same dark crimson as the shoulders with the receded areas being gold.

The force will consist mostly of warriors, the lord, wraiths, a few pariahs, and flayed ones, but I with hold the right to throw in other forces should I decide I need them.

Hmm.. It can be small Tombworld I suppose...

super so that means what? about 20-30 monoliths? :p

Lets go with about five... Its not that I'm trying to be a jerk, but honestly, the planet being too big of a Tombworld kinda screws with my storyline. So, I'd say possibly 10-20.

Nice, I'll be looking forward to it.

Tagged, just in case I get around to posting.
